Ok.
I guess you know not to run it on a mounted partition.
Yes, of course. :-)
That way it won't do anything to the file system, I still am not sure whether the -c option means it won't add bad blocks to the list, but it has never found any so the question is moot :)I also think this is a bug.. but I don't understand why (if it's a bug) the problem happens suddenly! Maybe after an update ? I am not sure.My timeouts started when I updated Etch to Sid.So it's not just an Etch problem.
Hmm...
